ENDERLIN, N.D. — A pilot was injured in a plane crash that occurred at 10:07 a.m. Monday, May 13, in a farm field one mile west of Enderlin.

Jessica Herman, a 33-year-old Kulm resident, took off from the Enderlin Airport for an exhibition flight in a 1951 Piper Cub, a release from the North Dakota Highway Patrol said. After takeoff, the engine malfunctioned, and Herman attempted to make an emergency landing in the field.

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of "staff." Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
